The line of intensity of the 

 earthquake destruction apparently 

 extended to a greater distance 

 northward than to the east or west. 

 For at Buff and Annotta Bays on 

 the north shore, the destruction 

 was but little less than at Kings- 

 ton. Furthermore, the shock was 

 felt at Santiago to the north and 

 not at Haiti to the east or on land 

 to the west of Jamaica. The in- 

 ference is that the locus of the dis- 

 turbance originated in a line of 

 north-south faulting rather than 

 in an area of less linear extent. 

 The north-south fault-lines extend- 

 ing throughout the island, as noted 

 before, and some probable fault- 

 lines extending in a similar direc- 

 tion through Cuba (marked by 

 sharp valleys) may indicate in a 

 general way the direction of pos- 

 sible faulting at the present time. 

 It might be noted that this line 

 of faulting lies at a consider-
